Justice Abdulkadir Orire, a renowned Muslim cleric, distinguished teacher and seasoned jurist, was born at Obaninsunwa on June 3, 1930, and died on January 26, 2021.
Orire started off with the study of the Quranic reading and recitation as a kindergarten. He was exposed to the fundamental aspects of the Islamic faith and the exciting culture of Ilorin, which made him grow up to become a committed Muslim. x
This great jurist’s voyage into Western education started in 1943 at the instance of the late Daudu Ballah, Alhaji Saidu Alao Omo-Oloni. It was Omo-Oloni, who insisted on enrolling him as one of the pioneer pupils of the then Ballah Elementary School (now Ballah LGEA School) Ballah, in the present-day Asa Local Council of Kwara State between 1943 and 1947. Orire did very well at Elementary School and became a pride to the founding father of the school, Alhaji Saidu Omo Oloni.
